Spotlight on Ohio Research & Innovation News
Exploring the molecular behavior of biopolymers, an Ohio University research team hopes to uncover the biophysical properties of these polymers and understand how they can be manipulated to create new types of sustainable materials—potentially replacing petroleum-based polymers in various industries.
Highlighting groundbreaking research in biomedical engineering, the University of Akron hosted its 4th Annual Biomedical Engineering Research Day on March 14 where 34 research poster presentations were shared with more than 100 attendees of students, faculty, alumni and industry representatives...
Researchers from The Ohio State University demonstrated that ambient gamma radiation could be harvested to produce a strong enough electric output to power microelectronics, like microchips ... “We're harvesting something considered as waste and by nature, trying to turn it into treasure,” said lead author Raymond Cao, who also serves as the director of Ohio State’s Nuclear Reactor Lab.
The University of Akron announced the launch of the Institute for Computing, Data and Information Sciences, a new academic initiative designed to prepare students for high-demand careers in computing, data science, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and information systems.
With input from local employers, Cleveland State University now offers 11 new integrated degrees to prepare students to meet the region's evolving workforce needs.
Recently announced, The Ohio State University joins a first-of-its-kind consortium of 15 leading research institutions that will work with OpenAI pioneering the use of artificial intelligence to accelerate research breakthroughs and transform education. The consortium launches with $50 million in funding from OpenAI for research grants, compute funding and application programming interface access to support students, educators and researchers who wish to advance the “frontiers of knowledge.”
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, Lt. Governor Jim Tressel, and Ohio Department of Development Director Lydia Mihalik recently announced the creation of the Youngstown Innovation Hub for Aerospace and Defense that will bring together government, academia, and private sector industry partners to transform the region into the global epicenter for additive manufacturing.
Ohio State University cardiologist Dr. Blair Suter is one of many physicians testing new virtual reality technologies to enhance medical education and care. A new software solution -- syGlass -- in clinical care shifts the virtual reality interaction from generic scenarios to those that may benefit real patients.
The transformational potential of innovative energy research projects proposed by two University of Akron College of Engineering and Polymer Science faculty members has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E).
Researchers from Case Western Reserve University and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have discovered that boron-doped diamonds could pave the way for faster, more efficient biomedical and quantum optical devices in ways that classical technologies cannot.
